I want to talk for a few minutes yes yes
I'm going to I I want to quote it
correctly and give the right citation to
tomorrow Planet I do know but I I know
but not clear enough to give you a
citation properly so give me let me do
that tomorrow anyway
so yesterday was half dollar Tavis
in 1812.
and Altera passed away I'm running away
from Napoleon
because the altareba
contrary to most of the other of his
contemporary tadiq and
he cited with the Russians over
the the French over Napoleon because the
alternative felt that emancipation will
lead to a deterioration of yiddeskite
the from kite of Torah
and later at his and his the other
students of the town of the market
by and large they said no
and later on they said the their
leadfack is
they refer to the out level came from
Lithuania the lead track Zao menu delete
[ __ ] snare zombies
he's right and they said
he took the cream of the crap you know
there's a lot a lot to discuss about
this discussion between the altareb and
the other Sadiq because it has to do
with the whole sheet of Chabad versus
the sheet of hagas of medals it's I
don't want to go into that right now but
it's an important uh discussion at some
point to understand both perspectives
and but the antidepress chose that
and as he was running away
he made sure that his house I think I
believe was burnt down and no
possessions would be left and he didn't
want Napoleon because he saw Napoleon
Avi as the source of clipper
you know why don't we learn little not
ask him what kind of you know it says
well I used to learn every moment we
have a minute we don't study
and the answer is because we believe
that the negative energy coming from
learning little Nacht is dangerous for a
person and you probably saw the game
just a few days ago with the LeBron said
those eight hours that there are some
people who learn I don't know I don't
appreciate and it's like disgusting
why because they're giving food for the
Clipper because Tyra gives food for clip
for everyone including clipper nurtures
from Tyra
didn't want Napoleon should take
anything of his belongings because then
he would have hold on to kadusha you
know the desire says one of the reasons
why our dear friends all around everyone
that you slow the Arabs why did they
have a clear of constantly badgering and
everything else because they have a half
of Milo
Cottage
their circumcision is not like our hours
of complete circumcisions considered
without Priya I'm not sure the details
of How It's a half of Mila but the fact
that they have half gives them kadusha
that's Messiah
so what do we see that when a guy
latches on and has something of tight of
Yiddish guide they get kaya from it and
this is something that we have to really
you know unders be careful
so down to that but didn't want that
Napoleon should be able to have anything
of his belongings at all
so he yes yes sir
you know
that's not the reason given as far as I
remember in the hello that what you're
referring to the basic reason is that
since they have a a mission to to work
and accomplish and tell you to you know
learning of Toyota is a different agenda
different purpose so you're taking away
from their agenda
and giving them another agenda
but it it could also be could be could
be I'm not saying you can but I never
thought of it that way and I would have
to do some you know research to see
but I hear what you're saying so let's
go back so the out there passes on
he passed on
where there wasn't the yidusha community
those that visited Russia Ukraine you
know a lot of The Villages still have
mostly non-jews
so they finally took the alternative to
haddish
I think once you told me you were there
you know now tarap is buried in haddish
okay
which was a you know it's not near
ly right down to never became known as
because I think in in
1801 like 1801 he moved or so to liadi
before he was enlarging it
and be and he became known as the Reps
but from the ADI for eign
to have this is quite a quite a long
distance
and the the so the question is why
wasn't he buried it where he where he
taught and lived for the last 12 years
of his life because there was a war
going on and he was running away and to
bring him back was impossible so they
found kind of the nearest Jewish
Community which was happy to bury him
there that's just the the reason to know
the reason
the outer ever
if you think about his life and a lesson
that we could take
in our lives is is
um many things but just a simple thought
here is a person yes he was a gifted
person and he had in the summer but
Sadiq and everything else right but
nevertheless
he was first a lit [ __ ]
and the Philadelphia writes in the
secret I've said this in the past but
I'll repeat it says
he was a lit fact that means he had the
mentality of elite [ __ ] at the time at
the time and the mentality of elite
truck at the time was that a simple
personal ish Pursuit who doesn't know
how to learn tair doesn't know Taira is
a nobody there's a second-class citizen
and you don't pay attention to that and
you don't give him as many Alias and on
and on and on
whatever the you know whatever the the
format was in that time but it was it
was serious
I'm not shooting the whole idea of
simple people and you know you
I don't know if you you know what simple
people are simple people are they can
they say till in and they Daven word for
word but but
they don't know they don't understand
you know them when he was a rabbi in
kutius in the new Georgia yeah you know
Kazakhstan whatever whatever it's called
today
he had very sincere people and they and
they treasured the rabbi the love my God
so much so that when he left I think he
had to run away in
1925 or 26. because of the Communists
he then he came back in 1935 or 36 his
house was still there and they held it
for him because it's the rabbi's house
and I don't think he bought the house
they they owned the house
but this is our rabbi's house he had to
technically leave for 10 years imagine
who knew that he was going to come back
and survive they didn't give up the
house because he's out of
that's the dead of credits with a
pastors I passed out
you know a sincere heart
so the lead facts of the time of the
Altera but didn't appreciate that that
wasn't their cup of tea
so when when the feeder campus says that
the outer ever was zombie new the lit
[ __ ] it was called zombies the the
Lithuanian from Lita that's not just a a
technicality where it came from that
means that this is the way he fought
that means that never thought that way
can you imagine knowing go go ask a
little barbecue do you know that the
founder of your movement of Chabad was
Elite fact I'll say what are you talking
about
that's what the Frida kidnapper writes
that means he received it from his
grandmother who received it from her
grandparents the tradition
so what do we see
that even though
you are a staunch Schlitz [ __ ] you can
come become a husted
simply and then that
you're not talking about
a regular person you're talking about uh
such a growing such a common Problem
by the age of 16 many times
a guide of a live track
and he has a paradigm shift and he
starts recognizing the Mila vanosh and
put them are simple people and that's a
lesson for us whether we are technically
a lit fact or not technically a little
[ __ ]
guess what we can be a habotnik and be a
lit track
atonement and a Boston area track
you know it's not about what group you
belong to it's about here what's going
on in here
and you can have the stripe on the payus
and the beard and everything and yet you
look down at someone that's
that's a lit [ __ ] why you look down at
them because they didn't they don't know
how to learn
or they're not you know a big russet and
I think that's a very important message
that I want to conclude with that if if
we honor and we want to honor the
balotanya we're learning this Tanya and
they gave the world such a great gift
it's to change our attitude and have uh
not look at anyone that's that's not
that is not as knowledgeable whether
it's because they weren't given that
that ability when they were young or
they weren't they didn't take the time
to do that or they didn't care for it
nevertheless they are like anyone else
yes Maisha I think and then yes sir
it wasn't the
told us Jacob Joseph
he was older than the belchem Tov no he
was he was
no he wasn't old out of
maybe he was older but he was considered
the the student to the belchem and the
first one who recorded that his the
printing and the teachings of the
belshaptive and it was recorded in his
safer called the shack of Joseph whether
he was older I don't I don't recall now
what's your question
because didn't he also wasn't he like a
a real
very like sort of a
hardcore and he had a very Advanced age
he came across it
you know I don't know if you tell me
that okay I don't know
what you you read that somewhere Maisha
yeah yeah okay I I I will I will try to
Google a little bit you know and see but
I don't know uh yes sir
it's a quartz Kasha because I never
learned in
the city
what
clubs Kasha what about a closed caption
[Music]
what
let's say clutch you're it's a klutz
cash
oh
I don't know I don't know you know
you're identifying the word Klutz the
idea cluts more with a literature
approach is that what you're saying
I'm asking I I I don't know for that I I
have to I don't know I hear you I I'll
ask my Javed in my
shoes
and respond I'm gonna call it yes we do
yes when I was learning Yeshiva

no question about it but whether it
originated there I don't know
unison

yes that yes but but
so Mike but Maisha was saying at his
older age I don't know that that yes
in older age meaning he wasn't it wasn't
in his youth late
yeah wait wait in other words when was
that how old was he at the time when did
he become a closet
